The rape and horrific murder of a 31-year-old female resident doctor while on duty in a Kolkata state hospital has rightly shocked people across the country and even the world.Activists shout slogans and display banners during a protest rally to condemn the rape and murder of a doctor in India's West Bengal state, in Kolkata on Aug. 25.
Most point to the entrenched culture of patriarchy that is prevalent across the country, whether it be in the family, society, or even religion. If any form of violence is tolerated in the home, the message received is that superiority gives one power and violence can be used to enforce it. Children learn more by example than by precept.
Sexual violence is frequently dismissed as a personal moral failing rather than recognized as part of a broader pattern of inequality and exploitation. This moral framing prevents a deeper understanding of the structural issues that allow such violence to persist, reinforcing existing power dynamics.
If authorities are really serious about addressing the rape culture, they should embark on an all-out campaign to raise awareness about women’s equality and the right to dress as she pleases and move around freely without the fear of being sexually assaulted. The suggestion was included in the gender policy of the bishops brought out in 2010, but nothing has been done about it to date. A spirituality of sex would also address the violence of marital rape silently suffered by many women.
